Here are 38, in your face things that you should probably stop doing immediately. Life is fun…enjoy it!<\/strong><\/p>\n via – Thought Catalog<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Putting your own opinion to a fact. Unless you\u2019re 100% certain \u2013 it\u2019s not a fact, and you\u2019re probably making it worse.<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Waiting for something better to come along before you quit the thing you hate. This goes out to all the people stuck in dead end jobs, mismatched relationships<\/a>, and boring social circles. Tomorrow never comes.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Not asking someone out because you think they are out of your league. Give them a chance to make that decision, not you. Try some funny jokes everyone loves to laugh. \u00a020 Short Jokes easy to remember<\/a>, try one even if you screw it up, that’s funny also.<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> Worrying about the traffic jam making you late for work, getting caught in the downpour without a jacket, or forgetting to get back to someone after you made a promise. Shit happens, get over it. Don’t be like this guy “Man thinks traffic ticket is stupid so he pay’s in pennies”.<\/a><\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> Thinking you\u2019re more important than anyone else. You\u2019re not. You\u2019re just as important as everyone else.<\/p>\n 6.<\/strong> Blaming other people when shit hits the fan. If it\u2019s your own fault, admit it. If it\u2019s not, then assume the person responsible is fully aware \u2013 they don\u2019t need you pointing it out.<\/p>\n 7.<\/strong> Forcing your religious beliefs onto another person. Well done \u2013 you\u2019re a Christian\/Muslim\/Buddhist\/Atheist\/Jedi\u2026 whatever, do you want a medal?<\/p>\n 8.<\/strong> Being afraid to spend money. You worked hard to earn it \u2013 so do something with it.<\/p>\n 9.<\/strong> Waiting for a magical sum of money to appear. There is never enough \u2013 the sooner you realise this, the sooner you can start living.<\/p>\n 10.<\/strong> Buying lottery tickets. See number 9.<\/p>\n 11.<\/strong> Believing something to be true because you heard it from an authority. Do your own research. Form your own judgment. Trust your own instincts.<\/p>\n 12.<\/strong> Ignoring your instincts. They\u2019ll keep you alive.<\/p>\n 13.<\/strong> Ignoring advice. Even if it seems misplaced \u2013 it probably comes from personal experience \u2013 which makes it completely relevant.<\/p>\n 14.<\/strong> Refusing to watch a movie, read a book or buy a product just because it\u2019s popular. One day, you\u2019ll miss out on something amazing.<\/p>\n 15.<\/strong> Looking too far into the future. It will never exist.<\/p>\n 16.<\/strong> Trying to erase the past. It happened \u2013 accept it.<\/p>\n 17.<\/strong> Ignoring the present moment. This shit is happening so pay attention.<\/p>\n 18.<\/strong> Focusing too much on making a good impression. They will see the \u2018you\u2019 that they see \u2013 and there\u2019s not a lot you can do about it. If you act with integrity, treat them with respect and look them in the eye \u2013 you\u2019ve successfully played your part in their life story.<\/p>\n 19.<\/strong> Allowing other people to write your story. Save that for when you\u2019re dead.<\/p>\n 20.<\/strong> Giving someone a lecture about a subject you know nothing about. People are remarkably good at sniffing out bullshit.<\/p>\n 21.<\/strong> Treating your body like crap. It\u2019s the only one you\u2019ll ever use.<\/p>\n 22.<\/strong> Treating other people like crap. See number 5.<\/p>\n 23.<\/strong> Assuming someone is happy because they\u2019re always smiling. Depression<\/a> produces Oscar winning performances.<\/p>\n 24.<\/strong> Blaming yourself for not realising something was wrong. You didn\u2019t know because they didn\u2019t want you to know. End of.<\/p>\n 25.<\/strong> Suffering in silence. It\u2019s not your fault. It\u2019s an illness, and people give a shit. Let someone in \u2013 even if it\u2019s one person \u2013 it could change your life.<\/p>\n 26.<\/strong> Being scared of success. Fear is an essential part of life and expecting it to go away will always end in disappointment. Some of the world\u2019s greatest entertainers get nervous before a performance. Some of the world\u2019s greatest athletes are full of self-doubt as they face their opponent. Some of the world\u2019s greatest entrepreneurs, innovators, and CEO\u2019s question their own products the night before a big launch. Always be afraid \u2013 never stand still.<\/p>\n 27.<\/strong> Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. If something isn\u2019t working then try something new.<\/p>\n 28.<\/strong> Aiming for perfection and avoiding mistakes. The person who never made a mistake \u2013 never made anything.<\/p>\n 29.<\/strong> Living your life vicariously through others. Great writers will always take you along for the ride, but learn the difference between inspiration and imaginary. The brain is easily fooled into thinking it was really there.<\/p>\n 30.<\/strong> Reading \u2018The Secret\u2019<\/a>. The universe is just as lazy as you are. Do yourself, and it, a favor by at least meeting it halfway. Sitting on your fat ass and wishing for a better life is the reason why you have a fat ass in the first place. Expect brain-rot to kick in next.<\/p>\n 31.<\/strong> Being jealous. It ruins lives.<\/p>\n 32.<\/strong> Believing there is an \u2018us\u2019 and \u2018them\u2019. Quit your whining, work harder, and meet the right people \u2013 all within your capability.<\/p>\n 33.<\/strong> Feeling pressured into following the crowd. If you really don\u2019t want to do something, then you have every right to say no.<\/p>\n 34.<\/strong> Using silence as your preferred method of communication. If someone sends you a text, then you reply. If you have to let someone down, then tell them. If there is a date you cannot make, a deadline you cannot hit or an agreement you no longer wish to honor \u2013 then speak up.<\/p>\n 35.<\/strong> Following the news. It\u2019s negative, untrustworthy, and it will not enhance your life in any way, shape or form.<\/p>\n 36.<\/strong> Getting involved in online arguments. You may as well be talking to yourself.<\/p>\n 37.<\/strong> Choosing the easy option<\/a>. Everything worth doing was worth the effort.<\/p>\n 38.<\/strong> Giving up something you really want because it\u2019s difficult. Everything you\u2019ve ever done was difficult at some stage. As a small kid you learned how to read, write, and recall 26 random characters \u2013 in sequence. You reached fluency in one of the most challenging languages ever created. You went from the comfort and safety of your home to spending most of your days in an alien environment cooped up with 20 like minded strangers. You dealt with ghosts in the night, monsters under the bed, and lived in a world of giants. Do you think your life is difficult? Your 5 year old self is mocking you right now. Man up.<\/p>\n![\"stupid\"](\"https:\/\/awesomejelly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/stupid.png\")
